Are you an organised person who wants to make a difference for survivors of domestic abuse? As a partner in the award-winning Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA), Standing Together Against Domestic Violence (STADV) are looking to appoint a Project Officer to support the Housing Project Team.

STADV coordinates the ground-breaking coordinated community response to domestic violence in West London. STADV are co-founders, alongside Peabody and Gentoo, of DAHA which was founded in 2014 to promote better practice, policy and research in relation to housing and domestic abuse.

The Whole Housing programme is seeking to appoint an area in the North of England to help lead the way in creating a model response to a diverse range of domestic abuse survivors, in all types of housing tenures and settings.

Calling all local agencies, services and partnerships working across the VAWG sector: Join us in our Nationwide Campaign to celebrate how Blooming Strong women are!

November 25th every year marks the United Nations day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. At Standing Together Against Domestic Violence, we use this time of year to celebrate the strength of women who have survived gender based violence, or supported someone who has.

Dr. Gail Dines spoke at this great event which provided insight, information, solutions, and a passion for building a healthy generation of kids.

It's a hard time to be a child. Teens today are bombarded with difficult and ever-changing sexual messages. As a result, it has never been more challenging to parent or mentor kids into healthy adulthood.

As their access to technology widens, young people internalize sexualized messaging which affects their behavior, attitudes, expectations, brain development, and undermines their capacity to build healthy relationships.

We are excited to announce the next Domestic Violence Coordinators Network conference:

We are very excited to announce that the upcoming DVCN Conference will be focusing on the challenges within the Housing sector when responding to the needs of survivors of domestic abuse experiencing multiple disadvantage and homelessness.

Domestic abuse is a significant health issue. In recent years the health response to domestic abuse has become critical to an effective, coordinated response. Best practice guidance and recommendations have targeted health in terms of understanding risk and information sharing. In practice we know that doctors face significant challenges and sometimes conflicting guidance about information sharing and patient confidentiality especially as it relates to adults with capacity where children are not involved.
